The use of historical cartography and ALS technology to map the geomorphological changes of volcanic areas: A case study from Gran Cono of Somma-Vesuvius volcano [PDF]
Geomorphology, 2021 Abstract The eruptive activity of a volcano modifies its surface topography through morphological changes generated by the deposition of emitted volcanic material and resulting gravity-driven processes, which can form accumulation of material in addition to the most common erosional phenomena.

Local economic resilience and economic specialization in Greece during the crisis
Regional Science Policy &Practice, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract This paper scrutinizes the issue of economic resilience, aiming to detect the existence of a systematic link with economic specialization. To this end, the paper conducts an empirical analysis at the local (i.e., municipal) level of Greece during the economic crisis period (2009–2015), providing cartographic visualizations and spatial ...
